Upon hearing her secretary's words, Long Yue's eyes flashed with shock. She hadn't expected Lu Yuan to take the initiative to propose a collaboration with her.
"What? You're saying Lu Yuan wants to cooperate with me? We haven't resolved our feud yet, is there any possibility of cooperation?"
Seeing the anger flash in Long Yue's eyes, the secretary realized he had made the right statement on the phone. However, his main purpose in coming was to show his loyalty, not to convey the message Lu Yuan had just intended to convey to him.
"Yes, yes, yes, I just gave them a serious rejection. Of course we will not cooperate with them."
Long Yue nodded slightly, then waved her hand, indicating that the other party could leave.
Seeing her assistant leave and continue working with her head down, Long Yue remained somewhat interested in the documents and voice recorder on the table after a while.
In the end, she picked up the voice recorder, glanced at it, and listened to it while comparing it with the handwritten documents.
"Hmm, you still want to cooperate with me? Dream on. We're short of nuclear fuel right now. In a while, I'll cut off all your power. Let's see how you survive then."
Long Yue planned to cut off the power, but due to the severe termite infestation outside, she hadn't put the power outage on her agenda.
Their current focus is on drilling. Once they can break through the rock layers between the middle and upper layers, they will have the opportunity to enter the upper layers. As for the fate of the remaining people in the middle layers, that will no longer be their concern.
Touching her stomach, Long Yue felt a little hungry. Now she couldn't be as picky about food as before, and she couldn't waste food like before. After all, the granary had been eaten through by termites, and the grain had been ruined.
This food is the reserve food for everyone in the middle layer. Since the termites took over, the entire middle layer has been in a state of famine. Fortunately, the Long Group has set up an emergency food reserve warehouse, so they can hold on for a while. As for replanting food, they can no longer do so because the Earth Core Crystal Core on which they depend for survival has now been taken away by Lu Yuan.
Therefore, before leaving the middle level, the food must be used carefully, otherwise everyone may starve to death here once the food runs out.
Although their senior leaders dine in a luxurious restaurant, the food they eat is the same as that of the lower-level employees, only in larger quantities.
Dinner consisted of a plate of shredded potatoes, a few slices of meat, and half a bowl of rice—that was dinner for one person.
Long Yue, carrying her plate, found a place to sit down without any expression. Before she could even take a couple of bites, a group of people rushed over with hurried steps.
Long Yue looked up and saw a hint of panic on the head chef's face.
"Mr. Long, something terrible has happened! We just received news that our grain warehouse has been eaten through by termites! Our grain has been almost completely destroyed by termites!"
With a clang, Long Yue's chopsticks fell to the table, and her face turned deathly pale. The thing she had been worried about had actually happened.
She absolutely hated her incompetent subordinates who couldn't even handle such a small task, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
With a loud bang, Long Yue slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but glance over, and when they realized it was Long Yue, they all fell silent.
Long Yue, like an enraged lion, gripped the head chef's collar tightly.
"Didn't we tell you before that the grain must be kept safe and stored in a secure place? Why didn't you listen?"
A look of panic crossed the other person's face, and he quickly stammered an explanation.
"President Long, we didn't expect termites to appear beneath the granary, nor did we know that these termites could even chew through these materials. We never anticipated any of this!"
Next, the other side produced the analysis report submitted by their team members.
After glancing at it, Long Yue found it covered with accusations of shirking responsibility. Seeing this, a flash of anger crossed Long Yue's face.
"Useless idiots! You're all a bunch of useless idiots, what are you all good for?"
Just then, a person walked in from outside the restaurant; it was Chen Han.
Chen Han had just finished her work and rushed over when she heard the commotion. She found that Long Yue was disciplining her subordinates and a helpless expression appeared on her face.
"What's wrong now? You're angry all the time; it's bad for your health!"
Long Yue was completely unable to control her emotions at this moment. She pointed at the head chef with a fat face and said, "Our food has been destroyed by termites. How can I not be angry? These good-for-nothings can't even do the smallest tasks properly. What are we supposed to do next?"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Han, who had been all smiles, immediately turned cold.
He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the head chef: "Who is in charge of this? Who is the warehouse manager?"
Then, the head chef felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the restaurant, then pointed to a man sitting in the corner.
The man in the corner knew his days were numbered. He had come here today to eat his last meal and then wait for his death.
He stood up quietly and walked out of the crowd. Several of his colleagues tried to speak up for him, but no sound came out when they opened their mouths.
